Brave lyrics

Looking through a coffee table book
At a small cafe on Broadway
Tryin' to find a way
Out of all trouble and dismay
Travelin' on a road unpaved
Everywhere I look
There is something there to remind me
Of feelings from yesterday
Listening to drama and hearsay
Only leaves me empty

You are my friend first
We talk about what hurts
We talk about love
Let's talk about us
Can't you see

It's a new day
New day
And it's evident
You must've been heaven sent
Something we should be hesitant

But I'm not at all
Just feeling more confident
Just using my common sense
Just trusting that I'm loving it

I can't refuse an offer so benevolent
Can't assume he's gonna use me
And after him never call again

Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
This is your day
This is your day

It's time to be brave

Do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well

Here's the thing
I was minding my own business doin' what I do
I wasn't tryina look for anything
All of a sudden couldnt take my eyes off you
I didn't even know if you could tell
That you had me in a daze sayin' 'What the hell'
Here's my name, number baby just hit my cell
Loving everything you do 'cause you do it well

Do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well

Here's the thing
I was minding my own business doin' what I do
I wasn't tryina look for anything
All of a sudden couldnt take my eyes off you
I didn't even know if you could tell
That you had me in a daze sayin' 'What the hell'
Here's my name, number baby just hit my cell
Loving everything you do 'cause you do it well

(Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever)

You can stop the clock that wouldn't be time enough
You could let the light turn to morning
I still would be wanting more of your love
It just ain't enough days in a week
Weeks in a month
Months in a year
How can I make it clear
(I wanna be with you)
I wanna be with you
(And feel the heat with you)
And feel the heat with you
(I'm flying)

(I wanna be where you are)
(Could it be I stayed away too long?)

I remember
I said we should split
Had a lot goin' on
And you weren't part of it
You tryin' to reason with me I admit
But I did
And now I'm walkin' around so so sick
And now I'm thinkin' for you that's a fact
Got me missin' you
Like LA misses Shaq
What I gotta do
On my mission to get you back
Because I'm just that way without you

[Chorus]
You don't know what you're doin'
But you do it to me
Try to stop it, can't stop it
Cos you got what I need
You got me on open
And now you're tryin' to leave
Hold it, don't drop it, don't drop it
Stop me, can't stop me, won't stop me

[verse 1]
Everytime I try to run
Somethin keeps stoppin me
I try my best to turn around
But your touch wont let me leave
I cant control it

Oh, oh oh...

This is where my story begins
Standing here with you I'm about to give in
And I'mma give all I can give
Even though in previous relationships
I might have been mischievous
I wasn't always ready I admit to this
But what a good feeling it is
I've had a lot of crushes close to nothing like this

And everytime the subject would come up
I made up every excuse that I could think of

Strangers always got some mess to spread
But I have learned to flick them off
Can't walk a mile in my YSL's
I strap 'em on and I walk it off

Got 'em sayin', "I can't believe she did it" "No she didn't"
My wild factor's got 'em crazy (Crazy)
Got 'em sayin', "Yeah, she did it but I can't believe it"
Never say ya can't believe, ha ha...

Even if they try
They still can't walk a mile in these shoes

Forgiving him was the first thing I had to do
In order to move on
Forgetting him was not as easy to do
I had to teach myself to be strong

And it's so easy to be scared
When I think of all that I shared
When I think of how he made me feel
The bad and the good sometimes I wish I could
Take it back
But we can't go back
Gotta keep moving

It's so good, don't wanna hear no "would" or "could"

(Yeah...whoo!)

Through the bumpy roads the others bite the dust
'Cause they be thinkin' they're in love when they're in lust
But cliche breakin' up so easy
I'm about to throw a curve ball honey
People let the stormy weather push them out
Back against the road it's easy to be over

Don't sweat the little things wake up
Stay together
It's a new break up

Everyday I think how we done it

(Oh...)

It always feels like I'm in love to me
In the beginning
My mind is just a mirror
Of the way my heart wants it to be
I hope to see everything in his eyes
Because that's where it starts with the truth and the lies
And I can not hide my emotions
You can not hide your intentions from me

Don't you think
What I'm saying is
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is

Oh wow... wow

Guess I shoulda shut my mouth
But I had to get it out
So much for being headstrong, now I'm
Going half way out my mind
I know I was outta line
No scratch that, I was dead wrong

Know I shoulda let it go
But I just had to be right
Ooh coulda left it alone
But no I had to be right
Swear I woulda just fell back
If I knew all I'd be left with
Is these shoulda coulda wouldas
